- dljsjr 14y agoROS is under the governance of the OSRF, has been since October when the DARPA Robotics Challenge started. ROS will be fine.
- tlarkworthy 14y agoyeah, makes me think they saw this coming and decided to protect ROS by spinning it out.
- ibrahima 14y agoEh, I think the PR2 beta program institutions ended up buying the PR2s, although probably at a discount from the sticker price of $400k. I worked in one of the research labs that had one and we ended up buying it recently at a pretty steep discount. Also the clarifying post from WG that states that they're not going anywhere mentions that there are 50 PR2s out in the world, and there were only 11 or 12 that were given out as part of the beta program so clearly someone bought them.
